Someone once remarked to me that the good principles you believe in should be like your personal Gospel, you have a duty to the world to preach and practice it wherever you go and win souls where you can. Even though I might not have been entirely sold on the Gospel idea, I was sold...

When we speak of body-shaming, women readily come to mind as the victims. And this is not without good reason. From the internet to TV commercials and everything in between, society has made it a life-long mission to dictate to women how they must feel about their bodies. Thus, these “attacks” on their bodies are...

Recently, I came across a news article about drones and the Amazon. There was nothing unusual about this. When one thinks of drones, Amazon often comes to mind. Not only is this online marketplace one of the best places to buy drones, the tech giant has been one of the pioneers of drone technology and is...

When I saw the post “Organic, Grass Fed and Hormone-Free: Does This Make Red Meat Any Healthier?” on Eco Warrior Princess, and after reading the article, the second thought that crossed my mind was “enlightening piece”. The first was, ‘Are there even cows that feed on anything else but grass?’. Seeking an answer to this...

The guiding principle for the eco and sustainability movement is the future: that we treat the earth in a way that generations unborn can also have an earth to live in, an environment to enjoy and resources to extract. That the earth isn’t just a platform for human existence, but also a living being. That...

In 2017 when I came across the Eco Warrior Princess (EWP) on Instagram, I was intrigued. Its page was unique and well curated with pictures and stories that made you want to crawl into your own phone and try some of the vegan treats that I saw. Much more than the pictures were the contents....

The fashion industry is a huge one. It is a $3 trillion industry; so big that if it were a country, it would be the 7th largest economy in the world. This industry is comprised of millions of brands scrambling to cater to the needs of billions of customers. To meet this demand, the industry employs...

While prepping for my last article on ethical fashion, I conducted a search for “ethical menswear” on Google. There were 5.3 million results in 0.43 seconds. I then made a second search for “menswear” and the results were 83.4 million in 0.35 seconds. When I clicked on some of the top results, I made three...

The first time I came across the blockchain technology was in 2013 when I was invited to participate in a seminar on bitcoin. At the end of the seminar, I went away amazed at the concept of cryptocurrency but confused as to what exactly were bitcoin and blockchain. The best simplified explanation for blockchain I’ve come...

I live in a flat in a six-flat apartment building in Abuja, Nigeria. While I have all other facilities to myself, the water source is shared. This means that water is distributed to all the flats through a singular storage tank system. When this system develops any fault, we would convene a small meeting, designate...

I consider myself stylish. I consider myself to be a man of good tastes in fashion. This fact is typical of most young Africans and is equaled only by another typical fact: we almost never have enough money to spend on fashion or style. Here, the cost is usually the biggest factor under consideration as...

Abuja, Nigeria: Summer is here, and it means different things to different people. For students, it’s the much-needed break from school. For workers, it’s the time for that long-awaited vacation. And for most businesses, it is simply the time for increasing sales. For me, it doesn’t represent much. Traditionally, seasons in my part of the world...
